Hi!
I have a problem with my Ascend P6. It used to work fine, but these days more and more often the GSM data connection just stops to work. It is still turned on, but data are just not transmitted. Turning it off and on does not help, neither switching on and off the air plane mode. The only thing which helps is to restart the phone.
I have had not changed any setting, I have still the original Android (4.2) and no crappy software installed, just same games.
Please, can you help? Can it be fixed, or is it a hardware problem? I imagine in the service centre they would just say they didn't reproduce the problem and/or perform a factory reset at best. And I would be without the phone for like a month, which suc*s.
Thanks

I went through google, here, and other android blogs and where I found people who've had a similar problem to mine, there seemed to be no concrete solution.
What I'm talking about is literally in front of my eyes, though I didn't know the extent at the time, the wifi \ bluetooth died. I was listening to a podcast and the wifi turned off. I had no problems that led to this, no issues with the ROM (Energy) and anything else to indicate anything was wrong. So after turning it on it would just say error, and that was it.
Like other posters who've brought this up, I cleared cache and dalvik, went to stock, went to other backups from different ROMS, and still nothing. So is there anything concrete anyone here knows about? Thanks in advance!

So as to fix this problem,some people suggest to do a Factory reset.But, it is completely unnecessary.Instead you can try the following methods, which where tested by me successfully.
1. Dial *#*#526#*#* to reload the wifi driver.If it doesn’t work, restart your phone and dial it once gain.It will work for sure.
2.There is an app “Wifi-Fixer” from android market,which claims to be fix this problem.But seriously,it hadn’t worked for my mobile phone(Samsung Galaxy Ace).But,
if you are interested, can download and try it here.
For HTC users, I have a pretty good trick which works very well.
When you have obtaining IP address problem,
1.Turn off wifi.
2.Open “Allshare”, then you will be asked to connect to a wifi network.
3.Then select the wifi network that you need to connect from the list opened.
Magically, you will be connected without any extra effort.This works 100% sure without fail.
If that doesnt work try this:
1.Dial *#*#526#*#*.Then a message will be shown “Driver loading Successful”.
2.Now Start the WiFi, it should work.
If the message “Driver Loading Unsuccessful” is shown, follow these steps:
1. Dial *#*#526#*#* again and click options button on your phone.
2. Select Rx test.
3. Select Channel >9 .
4. Click Start and exit.
5 . After some time, turn on the wifi.It should work.
It is possible you've fried your wireless card.
Can you test Bluetooth calling?
If enough heat built up for a long enough period of time both could be affected.
ie charging while on wifi using Bluetooth and a heavy CPU workload is a perfect recipe.
Okay Diablo, thanks for the suggestions but of course, it didn't work. So many times I read these threads where people are having trouble for one reason or the other and nothing ever seems to work... Now I'm that guy.
So like I said, I would dial those numbers and nothing would come up. Now I did try wifi fixer and it really looked it was doing something, but again, nothing happened.
And 9h0S7, I'm fearing you may be right... I've read the bluetooth and wifi are on the same antenna, and I can't get the bluetooth working either. A friend of mine checked the board and everything looked fine so visually speaking nothing seemed corroded or messed up in anyway.
Anyway, thank you both for your help and I continue to hope this can be fixed!
Help! No Wifi connection now...
I had the "Wifi Error" problem with my Samsung Galaxy Ace device, so tried to follow the procedure described with Allshare. It didn't work, and now my device is not able to connect via wifi in any way! I've tried restarting the phone many times and dialling the code to reload the driver, I tried to download Wifi fixer, but no method works. The phone "sees" the Wifi network, tries to get the IP address and then disconnects. I don't know what to do... I'm desperate...:crying: :crying: :crying:
So last night, I was reading through some posts here and elsewhere about the MTP software not properly loading onto PC's and I was having the same issue. One thread said to go into Service Mode by dialing *#7284# and changing the USB options. Well, as soon as I went into Service Mode, I lost my 4GLTE signal. It would pop up as if connected and then immediately disappear. I restarted the phone several times, removed both the SIM and the SD card, and was still having the issue. I called myself from my landline and the call went through, I was able to answer it, but the icon still kept disappearing. I can also still send texts. I tried going into apps and using them with wifi off and they won't stay connected to the internet when the icon disappears.
So I chalked it up and decided to factory reset today because I've had the phone for almost 2 years now and I figured it would help with some other issues I was having. Well, after I reset it, it is still giving me the same issue, although it seems to stay connected a little longer now before cutting out. On wifi, everything works fine, but once I shut it off, I lose my connectivity. I didn't touch any other settings in Service Mode and it was as soon as it went into Service Mode that I saw the icon disappear. Then I thought it may be a SIM issue, but I don't have another mini-sim to try or a phone that I can try my SIM in. I'm running Simple Mobile on my phone currently. It isn't rooted. Now I'm mortified that I won't be able to do anything with my phone unless it's on wifi... *sigh*
Has anyone else had a similar issue??? Did you find a way to fix it? Any other suggestions that I may try? I don't want to deal with trying to root right now because If I brick it completely I'm going to scream...
Help?
P.S. - I apologize if this is posted elsewhere on here, but I wasn't able to find a similar issue when i searched. If you have a link to another post here, then please drop it on me... also, I'm fairly tech savvy. I just have no idea why this would happen without me actually making any changes.
Possible radio issue?

After doing some digging, I'm thinking there's an issue with my radio? Is there a way to easily flash the radio? I'm thinking that may fix whatever is keeping it from staying connected. I have noticed that in the last few hours it has been staying on longer, and when I connected it to my laptop, it stayed on for the most-part while connected. This is a weird issue, I am really wondering if anyone has had it. I will keep updating and if I find a solution it will be here, just in case this happens to anyone else. I'm hoping one of you helps me though. :victory:
Either way, i have uninstalled (and now reinstalled Kies and the USB drivers). Going to install ADB and Odin as well and keep reading up... back to work I go!
**FIXED**
I have no idea how, but the issue has fixed itself. I had my provider (Simple Mobile) cycle my SIM card and that seems to have fixed the problem. I will never know what actually happened I guess... but should this happen to you, I would suggest having your provider do the same thing.
This issue started a couple of days ago. This has been two weeks since the last OTA. I don't recall changing any settings, the only thing I have tried recently is to use the phone as a hotspot. It did work, but then I turned it off as my carrier doesn't support the use of hotpots on phones.
When wi-fi is off or when I am out of range, the phone will start to battery drain, get really hot, and the 4G icon flashes. It will stay on for a few seconds, then disappear. It does this non stop. It will kill the phone in 2-3 hours. The carrier in the notification menu will also switch from my carrier to "emergency calls only" as the 4G icon is flashing on and off. I can't really access websites, sometimes they will load, but mostly I get the no internet connection error. If NFC is turned on, the NFC icon also flashes on and off. I'm not sure if my NFC works on the phone, I can't get it to send pictures to other devices, or use google wallet. That may be a separate issue, or they may be a hardware issue.
Within range of wifi I don't have these issues. The 4G icon stays on, and the NFC icon stays on, but the NFC still doesn't seem to work. Has anyone else experienced these issues? I have cleared the cache in the recovery, but it didn't help. I'd rather not wipe my phone and lose how it is set up. I'm hoping there is a settings fix before I try that. I may have to send it to Asus for repair.
Haven't seen this issue however one setting you can check is under Settings/WiFi/Advance (menu in upper right corner)/Scanning always available/Turn Off - This can help improve battery life.
Please ensure to update firmware to latest version. Please also see ZenUI app called ASUS support for some helpful tips and troubleshooting assistance under Apps/ASUS Support/Assistance/System /Device Overheat - follow troubleshooting methods. Factory data reset or hardware rest may be required if problem continues. Please feel free to contact me direct if this requires ASUS RMA service.

Hey folks!
I just picked up the BS3 after being generally disappointed for most of a year with the Razer Phone 2. I got the EU version (I guess?) and have been having general issues with the wireless.
Periodically, almost the entire suite of wireless connectivity just drops. My WearOS watch (Ticwatch Pro 2020) will disconnect, and the custom watchface I use via Watchfaces disappears. Wifi usually keeps working so I may not notice the drop right away, but if I'm on my phone's cellular connection, nothing goes through even though it shows signal and LTE. In my car on my way home from work this morning I was on the phone with my captain, and the bluetooth connection to my car started cutting in and out, to the point that I had to turn bluetooth off to finish the call. There was no issue up to that point, while driving and listening to Audible.
I am suspecting/hoping it was user error in setting the device up. I backed up my RP2 to Google Drive, because I didn't want to lose my apps/data (I was mostly hoping my Swype settings and game logins would transfer over, since Swype died and I'm being a luddite, and the games require the hassle of 'transfer IDs') and have my text messages transfer over easily. I think it also possibly transferred the core device stuff like cellular and bluetooth settings as well, though am not sure.
Turning airplane mode on and off seems to 'reset' things and it'll reconnect to stuff, for a while again at least. I noticed I am somehow still getting at least some push notifications on my watch even though it shows as disconnected. I am a firefighter, on AT&T's Firstnet, so am also not sure if maybe the Firstnet bands might be being finnicky with the BS3.
Thanks ahead of time for any help and suggestions!
ETA: I also get the "Xiaomi SIM activation failed" alert every time I restart the phone, and sometimes after reboot the keyboard doesn't load. ? I get the feeling ill need to reflash again, but knowing where I went wrong first would help! Also curious if there is a stock Android ROM because this JoyUI seems a hassle, and I just don't want all the Xiaomi stuff.
Hey guys,
I am having issues with my Xiaomi Mi 10 LTE, where i have been using my hotspot due to the company wifi being down for a whole week and having a lot of issues. Currently i am only able to use my hotspot if i use no security, as with the WPA-2 security it fails to connect to internet or just outright fails to initialise the connection. If i do connect with no security, it fails if i disconnect or if i lock my tablet for a short time and refuses to connect again. I have found a workaround where i can add security and a password, then leave it to initialize the connection... i can't connect to it even with the correct password, but if i change the hotspot to have no security again it will connect fine. I have tried resetting my connection settings and this fixes it for an hour or so and then stops working. I have tried changing from 2.4g to 5g and back, this doesn't work. If i change the sim card slot it works for an hour and then breaks again. I can use the fix of adding a password and removing it but it is generally a massive pain in the a**.
Does anyone have anything they have tried that works as a perminent fix?
Thanks in advance!
Just to add, i am connecting to the hotspot with my Samsung Tab S7+ which has had no isses with other wifi connections and worked on my S7 Phone so i am sure it is the new phone. I have had it a few months but never used the hotspot until now.
I've been having quite a similar issue, and this is the second time I get it on the same model! I guess this is a bug or an hardware problem related to the model. The only thing I noticed working, and it's not a security issue in my opinion, is the position where you keep it! try to holding it in your hand at different inclination , until you find the right position. the one I'm using right now works better when lying on a table, the previous one worked better in a standing, lightly tilted position, as you can see in th eimage
That is insane! I'll have to try a few things and I'll get back with results. Normally my phone is lying down on a table but I'll check a few positions. I have found that screen mirroring seems to have the same effect... as in it doesn't really work. I don't know if it is just data out when the issue arises as I don't have any problems downloading or streaming etc.

Thanks! another user told me he had this kind of problem but it disappeared after a couple of opdates
